Three weeks to make three films. Filmed in my last semester before College. "Time", "One Night", "8x8".
Twelve shots, four sequences. Each of them will try to evoke a feeling, a sensation, an idea, a landscape… just like the iconic and transcendental Japanese poems known as “Haiku”.
The main morality is the chronic desire for rest
Within the historians, filmmakers, astronomers and the bread
Which once was dough front to back
Relationship stops along the way
You are not a wax-work in a glass
Become the concept of freedom Freedom exists and must bring fruit
The universe glancing for purchase reasoned
eyes roam / dancing in step with / my feet which praise the ground
a poem. trees. fragments of fritz. movement.
A man loses himself in melancholic euphoria.
For the unique 2x25 project, the Film Fest Gent asked 25 composers to compose a short piece of music, after which 25 filmmakers made a short film. The result: 25 exceptional films where the music inspired the form, narrative and texture. "Passing Time" began with Uruguayan composer Florencia Di Concilio's music and was completed with Terence Davies' reading of his own poem about his late sister, delivered over a single serene shot of the countryside near his home in Essex.

Alma, a beautiful girl who didn’t get the chance to hear how chaos the world is since she was born. Her mother then bought a hearing device for Alma hoping she would love the idea of sound. She got it wrong. It wasn’t just that she couldn’t hear, she wasn’t being heard. By a poetry in her room, she asks her shadows about love she has to the universe.
In the tradition of experimental genres such as the cut-up, collage, permutation, altered book, & erasure poem, ‘Burning Batteries’ dissects the idea of the book in both a literal & philosophical way. Books are usually thought of as 2D, static, fixed pieces of historically relevant narratives – ReVerse Butcher wants you to (re)think books as contested spaces for possible intervention, creative agency, & rebellion. She sees books as multi-layered places where multiple meanings hide behind the illusion of being locked-in by consensus reality.
Evelyn and her oblivious son Ziggy seek out replacements for each other. As Evelyn tries to parent an unassuming teenager at her shelter, Ziggy fumbles through his pursuit of a brilliant young woman at school.
